Several tasks in the Criterion Task Set have been modified as a result of validation studies conducted on the original battery. Recent research has established new loading levels for those tasks. In addition to task changes, several modifications have been made in the user interface. Added features include: a 30 second trial option, automatic trial number incrementing, a file naming convention, and a data reduction program.
